Evolutionary relatedness of the predicted gene product of RNA segment 2 of the Tick-Borne Dhori virus and the PB1 polymerase gene of influenza viruses 1991-05-31 .txt text/plain 2946 152 57 Abstract The complete nucleotide sequence of the second largest RNA segment of Dhori/India/1313/61 virus was determined and the deduced amino acid sequence was compared with the polymerase (P) proteins of influenza A, B, and C viruses. The viral RNAs have been shown to encode information in the negative-sense (Clerx et al., 1983; Fuller et al., 1987; Freedman-Faulstich and Fuller, 1990) and it was previously shown that the Dhori nucleoprotein (encoded by RNA segment 5) shares conserved amino acid sequences with the influenza A, B, and C virus nucleoproteins (Fuller et al., 1987) . The PBl polymerase proteins are the most highly conserved among the proteins of the influenza A, B, and C viruses (Yamashita et a/,, 1989 ) and they are most likely required for nucleotide addition during viral RNA synthesis (Braam et al., 1983) . ./cache/cord-269193-a647hwu9.txt ./txt/cord-269193-a647hwu9.txt
